HELP!
hello there!
I have a suse linux, for firewall and proxy.
I want use msn messenger in the M$ Network but it fails to login.
I try open some ports but it dont work.
What can I do?

I try many things and none of them work.
I found this:

#-MSN Messenger ports
$IPTABLES -A tcp_packets -p TCP -s 0/0 --dport 6891:6901 -j allowed
$IPTABLES -A tcp_packets -p TCP -s 0/0 --dport 1863 -j allowed

Can it work?
If yes, where i put that? In the firwall config file?
if some one know anything.

thanks!

an option..

keep the OUTPUT filters open
restrict the INPUTs to accept only response traffic

thanks ppuru!

but, how can i do that?
dont forget, i am very newbie.

can this prevent the users to send messages to me?
because the message other->me is only incoming.

and if i open the msn messenger ports?
it will work, or not?
